Romania

Dumitru Banta a Minelab detectorist from a town called Craiova in Romania recently found a hoard of 1500 silver coins (close to 2kg). The silver coins date back to the time of Romanian leader Michael the Brave (Mihai Viteazul).

The coins, which have a total weight of 1.8kg, are now with the Oltenia museum, where they are being evaluated by experts. The man who found the coins will receive 25% of their value as a reward. The coins were found at a depth of half a meter in a cloth bag and are an exceptionally important find.

The coins were found with the Minelab Safari which the man in question has a license to hunt for treasure with.
